Toall conce/rui,` I

Be itknown that I, F. X. LOUGgERi', of Kelleysville, in the county of Delaware, and lState oi' Pennsylvania,`have invented a new and useful Improvement ixL'Looms; and I do 'hereby declare that the following isfull, clear, and exact cleseription'thereo which willr `enable others skilled in the art to make and -use the same, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, in which-f y 4 Figure 1 represents `a plan View of my improved for weaving circular 4fabrics for yskirts and other sini-- ilar articles. l y Y 1 It consists inthe eonicalyarn-beam, provided with "a separating disk, aswill be hereinafter more `fully described. p 4 A represents'the loom-frame; B, the yarnfbeam;

and C, the clotheb'eani.

The-said beams are made larger at one end than at I the other, for the purpose of passing the warp through the loom faster :on onev side than the other, to 'make circular goods, vsuch as skirt-patterns;

.dwg-

As, under this arrangement, the proportion of weft to the warp would be greater -on the short side than,4

on the long side, I propose to compensate for this disproportion by providing a greater amount of warp for the long side, and for this purpose, I provide a reed,-

hav-ing finer spaces on the long side, graduated accordingto the distance from 4the end of the reed, on the side where the shortest portion of the fabric is` made; f-

As it is desirable to weavev coarser warp-threads into the bottom of the skirt, fora short distance froml the side on which the bottoms are woven, I increase the width of the spaces of the reed, and, to prevent the coarser warp-threads from rolling over on to the smaller` threads onthe warp-beam, I provide a sepa.- rating disk, D, on the yarn-beam.

Having thus described my invention,

' I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters `Pat entV l L .Y i

The conical yarn-beam B, providedfwith the separati-ng disk D, substantially as and for the purpose (lescribed.'
